Madeline Peyroux

Go for the music not the good! Service, ambiance and music were fantastic, & food not so much. I was there for Madeleine Peyroux

Our view, the Stylistics
Arizona P.

I did go to Jazz Alley for the Stylistics show. The show was amazing and the food was good. Staff were great. My disappointment was in the table we chose... .we were in the balcony, head on... which meant the booth was placed the short way, and we had to sit facing the table with our heads turned to see the stage. Our necks did protest. We had. It setup there before, so we did not know....now we do.

We haven't been here for a good many years essentially because we don't get to Seattle like we once did. Well, I am regretting having missed some great service, great food and beverages not to mention the live music. It's amazing how this venue can do two dinner shows in an evening! That's seating guests, taking food and beverage orders, serving and the clean up and do it again! Simply incredible. Don't think it's Jazz music only because you might be surprised. We saw Elvin Bishop and the Big Fun Trio playing some classic blues and modern renditions. Lastly, I was delighted to see a large and diverse crowd of younger folks enjoying a great show in a classic and classy venue. I was expecting to see the place filled with us grey hairs! It's a feel good evening and I highly recommend that you take advantage of it.

Veggie Samosa
Anthony W.

The venue is always a fun hang for the music. Unfortunately, the food is often somewhat of a miss. It's ok but nothing special. Their "famous" lasagna is somewhat flat in taste, the Mezze platter is dissapointing and overpriced. The Veggie Samosas (new item Nov 25) are in wonton wrappers, deep fried and barely have any filling. To call them a samosa is an insult culturaly to their homeland. The beef stew was hamburger fried up and dropped into an overly salty tomato broth - not sure how that constitues a stew? The drinks are short poured... the list goes on. It doesn't change that the staff is always friendly, it's got a great vibe and the venue is a blast for a show. Just know this isn't a fine dining venue and you're better off grabbing dinner elsewhere and ordering some wine and a dessert at this venue for the show!

This place is an unbelievable jazz bar in Seattle. Definitely a hidden gem. The prices are reasonable. They have fantastic performers come through. The service and ambiance are amazing. The food and drink options are solid. If you are a fan of jazz, I would absolutely recommend you check this place out!

Prime rib order split.

Went to see Vincent Ingala and what a fabulous show he performed. Love JA for the quaint ambience and shows. Dinner and drinks were delicious, I had a wedge salad and halibut. Halibut was fresh and done to perfection, asparagus was tender and tasty along with the crispy potato croquettes! Great night!

This is an old-school gem! These days I avoid going to downtown Seattle whenever possible, but this place is worth it. There aren't very many jazz clubs like this anymore. We had our first trip here over the weekend with friends and really enjoyed ourselves. The service was excellent, great weight staff who are attentive, but don't hover. The food was top shelf. Specifically, the prime rib was done to perfection and all the sides were excellent. Because it was an old school venue, I had an old school martini that was also excellent. and they have a great wine list as well. And I haven't even got to the entertainment. The band we saw was outstanding, nationally known, with members that have multiple programming, nominations and awards. In short, our time spent here was too short and we're going to have to go back. A word on the seating, it's a club built around the stage, and the seats are cozy, but comfortable. Not a bad seat in the house, including at the bar so don't be put off when you make your reservations if you can't sit in the front row.

Seared Seafood Brochette
Lanessa S.

My experience at Jazz Alley was amazing! Everyone is super nice and welcoming, my server was very attentive and always checking up on me. I picked up a last minute ticket for the Spinners and was afraid that my seat wouldn't grant me the best experience, due to getting one of the last seats off to the side. But I was proven wrong! Sounds from the performance were great and I had a good view. The drinks were strong, but very good! The seafood brochette was delicious also. I'll be back!

Kenny G

We were in Seattle, WA visiting our son over the Christmas Holidays! Son got us tickets to see Kenny G at this Jazz Club! It said doors opened at 9:15 pm, but it was more like way after 9:30 pm. It was sooo cold outside, son gave me his jacket too. I was freezing. When we finally were seated, cocktails arrived really fast, which was great. Drinks flowed nicely all night, FANTASTIC SERVICE!! You can also order dinner, but we ate across the street earlier.. It was a fantastic show that Kenny G put on. Awesome music.. We loved the drummer too. When it was over, we headed to the back to buy some fun stuff. I bought an album and they gave me a nice drink tumbler. Our son Jordan bought a brand new SAXOPHONE that Kenny G had made for $1650, it is gorgeous ! Pictures all around.... fun night on our last night in WA!

Beautiful experience - we were visiting over the weekend, from Montreal, Canada and jazz is quite popular here, we do have a world class festival that runs every summer, however I never experienced anything quite like Jazz Alley. A friend booked tickets for us on Saturday April 19, 2025. The headliner was jazz singer/songwriter and guitarist Madeleine Peyroux. We had no idea what to expect and were blown away on all levels. We arrived around 6:30PM, were seated in a nice banquet close to the stage. Our group of 4 ordered various appetizers like the corn bread, calamari and antipasto platter. These were delicious, along with fruity cocktails. Our main meals were salmon, risotto, chicken piccata. Everything was served so promptly, presentation, flavors and portion were on point. I tasted both the fresh king salmon and chicken and they were equally tender, well marinated and just bursting with flavor. Once we were about done eating, that's when the show started. I was moved by the performance and Madeleine's beautiful vocals. She opened each song with a popular quote - this was poetic and added reflection to each message she was delivering through her music. Her style was varied and the crowd was lively. It looked like everyone enjoyed themselves. I was bobbing my head and tapping my feet the whole time. It was a memorable night, the combination of food and show is just so much fun. Strongly recommend Jazz Alley if you enjoy livve music, are open to dicovering new artists and just want a great meal combined with entertainement.

sauv blanc

Came here to celebrate my birthday and to see The Miracles, one of our go-to spots for date nights when we feel like dressing up and treating ourselves. We parked for free in the Amazon Doppler garage right across from The Spheres, super convenient and just a short walk to the venue. For drinks, we ordered two glasses of Sauvignon Blanc, an Old Fashioned, and an IPA. For food, we shared the calamari (so tender, perfectly breaded and seasoned, paired with a sauce that really brought it together) and the Cajun cornbread which honestly might be the best cornbread I've ever had. Add a little softened butter and honey and it was an experience. That cornbread was the highlight of the night for me. For mains, I got the chicken piccata. It was fine, but nothing memorable. I kind of wish I had picked something else. My husband had the gumbo, which was generously packed with seafood and chicken, but it didn't quite hit the mark compared to others we've tried. Service here is exceptional! Plenty of staff, very attentive without being overbearing. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcome. The vibe and atmosphere are usually electric, especially with the right band and a lively crowd. Unfortunately, last night's crowd felt a little stiff until the band did some crowd work. We were seated on the main floor and I kept wishing people would loosen up and just feel the music. The band absolutely deserved more energy from the room. All in all, still one of our favorite places to celebrate something special. Will definitely be back, hopefully with a more enthusiastic crowd next time!

The bar
Maitina M.

Super cool place to hang out, have drinks and apps or maybe an entree or two. Reserved seats so be sure to try and get in early for good seating. We made our reservations at the last minute so we sat behind the bar. Loved the music and the vibe.

There's a good amount of seating in the platform area and a large open floor in the middle. A lot of people also stand/dance on the same platform as there's a lot of leeway for you to move between areas. I never really do coat check because I'm paranoid about not having my things on me, but the one here is easy and reliable. The only real issue was the photo booth which only worked for the first half hour or so. I'm assuming it ran out of film or something because at some point, it just kept taking people's money without taking any photos, which was brought up to the staff. This isn't necessarily on Showbox since the photo booth is provided by a vendor, but I would've appreciated an "out of order" sign. If this happens to you, you can visit the vendor's website and call for a refund!

I've seen several other shows, and I left just breathless about how they continue to be one of the most talented burlesque troops that I've ever gotten to see.

Unlike other burlesque groups/theatres that directly compete with them, they really go an extra mile to play with the many different ways people can be sexy.

I finally got to see them with a group of friends and was most impressed. First off, they have a gorgeous group of women with a variety of body types and charms. They take their time on beautiful costumes and very entertaining routines. You can tell some of them are professionally trained and talented. And those that don't excel as well in traditional dance make up for it with va-va-va-voom. While they may not rank up there with the world famous cabarets, like the Crazy Horse or Moulin Rouge, they do stay honest to their craft with campy acts and some seriously talented tassel twirling. I would highly suggest them for a romantic night out, a fun time with friends, or a perfect stress release for a hard week. So cool that they hang around to talk afterwards and even came over to thank us for showing up. Classy ladies.

The breakfast burrito & breakfast torta were $15 each, bringing our total to about $35 before tip. They come with a side of sour cream + choice of salsa (we got the verde and mango habanero, which was nice and sweet! not too spicy at all & mixed with the sour cream was actually so good). The torta comes with meat, guac + pico all wrapped in a layer of crispy melted cheese (which, imo was a little much b/c I don't particularly like when my cheese comes like that), and was actually so tasty and super worth it for the price b/c it was actually so large?? I definitely left feeling super stuffed. (+ When it arrived, the girl working literally said "good luck b/c this thing is huge". ) The chorizo burrito was drippingly oily but was also very good too!
